Preparing the Interior of a Home for an Open House

As a seller again you'll be discussing with your realitor what your selling your house is it as is, is it a fixer, if you can it's always best to make things look fresh. If you can afford a nice coat of white paint is always a good idea also if the carpeting is very important to vacuum for instance, the carpet isn't the most beautiful carpet we all agree I'm sure, you can have it lifted up put some newer carpet in for maybe under a $1,000, if not you leave it and make it clean. The point is to have the place cleaned if you can't afford to do renovations just make sure it's proper. And then what's always very helpful this is a especially for realitors is light some fragrant candles because the one thing you don't want sometimes people have cats, maybe they cooked fish the night before, or maybe there's just some smells you rather not smell. So always light a scented candle what I like to do is an added bonus is to light sage, it's important to do the sage a little before hand maybe 30 minutes because sometimes when you light it the smell some people mistake it for a different type of smell if you know what I mean. So go around you can do sage in different ways you can ask negative and energy's to leave the house, you can walk around and say "I will sell this house today" but whatever you do make it fragrant. Go in all the rooms and it's always a really wonderful idea is to have some flowers. You keep the flowers so again when people come in it's going to be clean maybe some flowers in front of the house they walk in it smells nice, the flowers are here and that way people ready and immediately feel more comfortable and more willing to buy.
